1.0

The ASEAN Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) on Architectural

Services

1.1

The governments of Member States of the Association of South East Asian Nations
(collectively referred to as ASEAN, and comprising Brunei Darussalam, the Kingdom of
Cambodia, the Republic of Indonesia, Lao Peoples Democratic Republic, Malaysia, the Union
of Myanmar, the Republic of the Philippines, the Republic of Singapore, the Kingdom of
Thailand, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam) have agreed on the ASEAN Mutual
Recognition Arrangement on Architectural Services which aims to:
a. facilitate mobility of Architects;
b. exchange information in order to promote adoption of best practices on standards of
architectural education, professional practice and qualifications;
c.

conform to the spirit of ASEAN co-operation based on fair distribution of resources and
benefits through collaborative researches; and

d. encourage, facilitate and establish mutual recognition of Architects and set up standards
and commitment of technological transfer among ASEAN Member Countries.
1.2.

A copy of the ASEAN Mutual Recognition Arrangement on Architectural Services which was
signed on 19 November 2007, is available at the ASEAN website, at:
http://www.aseansec.org/21137.pdf

2.0

ASEAN Architect (AA)

2.1.

Under the MRA, an Architect who holds the nationality of an ASEAN Member State and who
possesses qualifications and experience that complies with the requirements specified in Part
B of this Assessment Statement may apply to be placed on the ASEAN Architects Register
(AAR) and accorded the title of ASEAN Architect (AA).

2.2.

The Professional Regulatory Authority (PRA) of each participating ASEAN Member State will
authorise a Monitoring Committee (MC) to receive and process applications from its Architects
for registration as AA and to maintain the ASEAN Architects Register (AAR). Details of the
PRA and MC are in Part A of this Assessment Statement.

3.0

Registered Foreign Architect (RFA)

3.1.

An AA who wishes to provide professional Architectural Services in another participating

ASEAN Member State shall be eligible to apply to the Professional Regulatory Authority (PRA)
of a host participating ASEAN Member State to be registered as a Registered Foreign
Architect (RFA).

3.2.

A Registered Foreign Architect (RFA) will be permitted to work in collaboration with

designated Architects in the said host country, but subject to domestic laws and regulations.
The RFA shall not make submissions to statutory authorities of the host country.

3.3.

Privileges and Obligations of a Registered Foreign Architect (RFA)

a. A Registered Foreign Architect (RFA) shall not be eligible to work in independent practice
in the Philippines, unless specifically permitted by the Philippine Professional Regulatory
Authority (PRA). As the Philippine PRA has statutory responsibility to register an Architect
so as to protect the health, safety, environment, welfare and culture of the community
within its jurisdiction, it may require a Registered Foreign Architect (RFA) to be subjected
to some form of supplemental assessment which aims to determine that the RFA:
a.1.

understands the general principles behind applicable codes of practice and laws in
the Philippines;

a.2.

has demonstrated a capacity to apply such principles safely and efficiently; and

a.3.

is familiar with other special requirements operating within the Philippines.

b. A Registered Foreign Architect (RFA) shall provide Architectural Services only in the
areas of competence as may be recognized and approved by the Philippine PRA. He/she
shall also be bound by:

4.0

b.1.

codes of professional conduct in accordance with the policy on ethics and conduct
established and enforced by the country in which he/she is registered as an ASEAN
Architect (AA); and

b.2.

prevailing Philippine laws and regulations.

Purpose and operation of this Assessment Statement

This Assessment Statement provides a framework for the assessment of Filipino Architects for
placement on the ASEAN Architects Register (AAR) by the Philippine Monitoring Committee.
